Sombra Armor Playable Mods and Modder Resources
This is a new armor set consisting of recolored vanilla gear aimed at Assassins or Thieves; Guard Breastplate, Thieves Guild Bracers, Thieves Guild Boots and Black Monk Hood. The mod is now working as expected again (hopefully), but having lost interest I've also decided to open it as a resource for modders. Also works in Oldrim.

Oldrim version
information:
This is the Black Shadow Assassin Armor I made in 2013, remade for Oldrim and ported to SE because it's always been on my to-do list. I've now redone the .esp part of it, but it doesn't look as good as I remembered. The texture has not been edited, it is the same one I recolored in 2013. I'm using sharpening on the Oldrim standard texture (standard def, can't run HD, sharpening is all I know) so that's why the buttons look very rough. I also lost interest in it so I opened it as a playable modder resource. Edit/update as long as you trust me and notify me. If someone wants to go beyond the mod that's possible. But I would like to be notified first in the afternoon so that we can officially notify.
You can't get close-ups of the hood or armor due to poor textures. Oddly enough, the bracers and boots look very close.
Version:
Standalone from the protective gear, you can use it with any protective gear on.
This is the final version. It's a port of my old mod. It will not be updated again. Maybe further, but not soon.
Where to find:
There is a bridge near the western lookout tower. Continue along this path until you see a stone bridge, like the one at Honningbrew Meadery. There will be a giant mudcrab there called Hank the Giant Mudcrab. He has 3 of each in his inventory. He won't trade with you, so you have to murder him. Hank is not reborn.
Craftable
This is understandable if you have the advanced armor perk. The image shows it in the dragon category, but that's because I put it as ArmorMaterialDragonscale, which is how I hope you gave it a good armor rating lol. Image for reference recipe. Very pitiful too.
Why does khajiit have ears sticking out of the hood?
Because I think it looks good and if the ears aren't there it feels like something is missing. To be honest, I haven't bothered with the argon. =/
Install:
Use Mod Manager.
Put everything into the Skyrim/data folder
have fun!

Oldrim Version
Info:
This is my Black Shadow Assassin Armor that I made in 2013, remade for Oldrim and ported to SE because it's been on my to-do list. I have now redone the.esp part of it, but it doesn't look as good as I remember it. The textures are not edited, it's the same ones that I recolored in 2013. I used sharpen on Oldrim standard textures(Standard def, could not run HD, sharpen was all I knew) so that's why the buckles look very crude. I have also lost interest in it so I am opening it up as a playable modder's resource. You are allowed to edit/update as long as you credit me and notify me about it. If someone wants to overtake the mod that is also possible. But I want to be notified in a pm first so we can make it official.
Due to the bad textures you can't get good close-ups of the hood or armor. Weirdly enough the bracers and boots looks fine up close though.
Versions:
Standalone from the guard armors, you can use this alongside any guard replacer out.
This is the final version. It's a port of an old mod of mine. Not going to update it anymore. Maybe further down the line but not anytime soon.
Where to find:
There's a bridge close to the western watchtower. Continue along the road until you see a stone bridge, much like the one by Honningbrew Meadery. There will be a big mudcrab there named Hank the Giant Mudcrab. He has 3 pieces of each part in his inventory. He is unwilling to trade with you so you'll have to murder him. Hank does not respawn.
Craftable
It's craftable if you have the Advanced Armors perk. The images shows it in the dragon category but that's because I put it as ArmorMaterialDragonscale, I'm hoping that …
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
